| Racing - 4 July |
Had had a quick look at tomorrow's cards, all flat turf and 6 meetings in all, and on the whole it looks well classy.
We've given our views on the Eclipse but anyone got any views on all the other heats tomorrow???
My early views are that I like a couple of fillies under the tutelage of Sir Michael namely Strawberrydaiquiri (who was oh so impressive when she won her maiden last time at Windsor) in the Listed contest at Sandown Park and up at Haydock Park Rosika who has looked very progress ... |

Now after John Terry apparently and have bid £30 million. Chelsea have rejected this.

| Eclipse Stakes - 4 July |
I see that a total of 10 have been declared to run - http://horses.sportinglife.com/Racecards/0,12495,307506,00.html
Interestingly, Sea the Stars has just gone a shade of odds-on and half of the field are 100/1+. Plus it would appear that we have 3 pacemakers in the field.
It looks like the bad thunderstorms that were predicted earlier in the week will peter out before they hit the South-East. They are still though forecast to be severe over the South-West later on today/ earli ... |
